Got2Remember are led by Father and Son team Niles and Nathan Hailstones. Originally formed as a Djembe
Drumming group in 2001 to pass on the wealth of the African Drum and Oral Tradition to future generations.

As Father and Son G2R represent a return to tradition and come at a time when positive images are few and far between.G2R Use African rhythms fused with Hip Hop,Jazz,R&B and Reggae, to reintroduce our community to the iStory of the Drum, and the tradition of Word,Sound & Power!Band/artist history

"Walk Like An Elephant"
An I-firmation:
"As we begin to grasp the umbilical cord that connects us to footsteps far greater than we...
An inner flame ignites...Creating the fire that burns illusions.
Eyes aflame...only truth can rise from the ashes...
Memories reborn in flesh will manifest
in dancing feet..
and the hearts of our children".
